WHOLE NO. 6821. MORNING EDITION—MONDAY, APRIL ».” 1855. ee oe THE DANISH WEST INDIES. Our St. Thomas mee, Sr, Taomas, West Indies, April 10, 1855. Department—Health—Shipping News, éc. will be faithfully nosed out. of things political. As thi steamers despatch. We have lately had some slight shocks of earthquake, but nothing serious is apprehended. In past years, the great curse to St. Thomas has been the most devastating res, ‘Thanks, however, to the energy and public spirit of the then Counsellor of State and Judge, the Hon. H. H: Berg—the actual Governor—a different style of building ‘was adopted, and it is long since there was so destruc- ‘tive a conflagration happened as that which destroyed the warehouses of the worthy American firm of Whit- more & Co., a few weeks since. We have latély bad Salvi and Fiorentini to charm us for a couple of evenings only. They were on their way from Havana to Southampton, and were easily induced to reman a fow days—leaving, we hope, with lighthearts and heavy pockets—for they had not been so successfu during their late career in Mexico and Cuba. Old Salvi was in Sne-voice, and the Signorina looked more charm. ing than ever—being withal in an interesting condition, heightened by a slight lameness, the result of an acci- dent while riding over the hills of this island a few days after ‘her arrival. Bottesini, her husband, and Bellett!, ‘the instrumentalist, were of the troupe. The death of Nicholas has been received with deep re- gret here by allercept the allies and their todies—the Spaniards. On receipt of the news most of the shipping showed fiegs at half-mast, It is truly a loss to America: Nicholas was our friend and the munifisent patron of our citizens, May Alexander follow his footsteps in al, things. i Tho threatening aspect of our Spanish relations octa- sioned some little sensation here. Long, low, sharp achoorers are already enhanced in vaiue, and I would just recommend Uncle Sam to look well to this famous free port in time—or we will have Spanish privateers slipping out of it by the score. ‘The facilities for fitting out and getting simon pure Spanieh cre re very great, Porto Rico is in sight any clear day. By the way, those fa- mous vessels, the Ben. Franklin and Catharine Augusta, Gre still here, and there is yet much curiosity expressed as to their final destination. It is, perhaps, of sufficient significance to be entitled to special remark, that Mr. John N. Oleott, who came out from New York as agent of those ships, returns in the Osprey, and his place is supplied by ® Mr. Pickett, who has arrived from New Orleans via Havens, aud who is said to be a confidential friend of General Quitman. What does this mean’ Do these vessels, after all, constitute the left wing of the great exrediticnt Or ‘sre they designed simply to ope- rate against Porto Rico? The Unit States Consul here ‘sesures all inquirers that nothing of the kind is in the wind, and acds (rather mysteriously, it must be admit- ted,) that “Mr. Pickett is an United States officer, and cannot be engaged in any unlawful business.”’ Now, athe inference is, that the United States government is preparing for the wrath to come; and having purchased ene sbips, with all their store of shot, abeil and guns, bas sent an officer here to take charge. Either solution of the difficulty has its advocates; and isi expects on United States man-of.war to arriv lion of the two vessels, the opposition declares it Ee'Gaity looking for two or three akiplonds of Seses ail. busters. By the way, you will recollect the extraordinary out- rage of tre firing into the Ben Franklin by one of the forts of this piace seme months ago, as she was peace- ably leaving the harbor under charter from the British agent. The corresposdence had on the occasion between our faithful and vigilant Consul, Major Helm, of Kentucky, and the local Governor was given to the public at the time, But there was a sub-equent interchange of notes which we bave not yet reen in print. As they are cred- itable alike to the consul and the Governor, I have procured copies from tho agent of the Ben. Franklin, and enclose them herewith. Asan evidence of the dis- ‘approval of the conduct of tlee officer who ordered the firing, the home government has remove him from the command here and promoted him downwards to a less important post in Santa Cruz. By the way, the gentle- man who so cooliy fired three 24-1b, shot into an American with passengers, glories in the distid- izg appellation of *Knight of the Bed Chamber to fis Majesty the King of Denmark.”” What the duties bode t important trast may be, a plain republican can- net guess.

Cfiicer Brown, of the 9th Ward police, arrested two females on Satur!ay night, named Sarah Smith and Eliza Squires, charged with shoplifting, These females, it appears from the affidavit taken before Justice Davi sop, ot the Second District Police Court, went into the boot and shoe store of George Ey, of No. 69 Sixth avenue, on the night in question, and requested to be shown some gaiter boots. The desired articles ware shown these females, but somebow or other, none of the aiters could be found to fit, and ino were preparing to ‘ave the store, when Mr. Ely missed two pair of bots, and at once sug; that the ladies had got possession of them, but felt somewhat diffident about charging them with tke offence At last, however, getting his up to the sticking point, he made bold to ask uestion or two tive to the whereabouts ing property. From the answéts recifvet the propristor of the store became convinced that two accomplished shop liftera were in the store, and accord- ingly called in officer Brown. A search was then insti- tuted, when the missing roperty was disoovered con- cealed beneath the appeel the fair purchasers, and also a variety of other articles, which are supposed to have been dishonestly obtain’, consisting of a straw Dat, five pair of gaiters, two pair of rubbers, a dress pattern, one merino shawl, a blue dress, black veil, Jece of ecging, white shirt, glass candiestick, gl ‘ttle, two wine glasses, china caps and saucers, and pocket book eontai icket. articles are now in the .

Verdi‘ lsst work, “Il Trova tore,’’ will be produced this evexing in very fine style, and from the favorable opinions ex) reamed of it by good” critics after the last rehearsal on Sat:wday, it is safe’ say that it will make a “hit.” The cast includet Steffs- none, Vestvali, Amodio, Brigneli and Rocco. It is worthy of notice that ‘this opera is produced here in edvance 0° its performance in London. It is promised in the Coven* Garden programme, Nm1o’s Garvey, we learn, will not open for Itaitan opera until Monday, May 7, when “ll Barbiere di Siviy: lia’”’ will be given, with Mme. de la Grange, Marini and Rovere in the principal parte.

Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams will shortly play an engagement at this house, At Burron’s Tasatre, nothing new was played last week. The “Comedy of Errors,’ with pleasant farces, drew good houses, This evenirg “David Copperfield” is to be played, with Burton as Micawber, ani Hallas Uriah Heep. - At Waxtack’s Tweatre, “‘Elopements in High Life,’’ which has already been fully notised in the Heap, was the only novelty of the week. It will be played this evening, together with “Popping the Question.” “Tit for Tat,”” an Olympic piece, from the French, of course, but said to be very well Anglicised, is announced for performance on Wednesday. It was brought out in London about two months ago, and was a success, At the Bowery TaxaTar, Mr. and Miss Charles have been playing a short engagement, terminating on Satur- dey with a benefit. This evening a new spectacle, which has been some time in preparation, and is called “The Sevex Temptations,’ will be produced. The scenery, dresses, &c,, have all been made for the piece, and it combines the attractions of the drama with the witcheries of the ballet. Mr. Robert Jones, the stage manager of the Bowery, has no superior in getting up pieces of this kind. At the American Mvseum the dramatic celections for this afternoon and evenivg include “The Lady of the Lake’ and ‘Ambrose Gwynett.’”’ At Woon’s Minstrx1s, No. 472 Broadway, a fine con- cert pregramme is announced for this eyening.

The committee which has had the subject under con- sideration report that the land and: building will cost $220,000, It is thought that the $40,000 required to complete the requisite sum will be readily obtained.

The American theatre was burned for the second time, last week. The edifice then destroyed was built in 1840, and was for atime the most popular house in Now Orleans. The first star engagements in it were those of Mrs. Fitz wil. Vam and Mr. Buckstone, and they drew full houses against Fanny Elleler at the Saint Charles. At tnis time Ludlow and Smith were the managers of the Amesican. Mr. Macready played there, and other good stars. In 1842 the Saint Charles was burned, and when it was re- built, the managers of the American took a lease of the new Saint Charles. They were not very saccessfal during the first two years, In the meantime, the American passed through several hands, and ruined several new managers, until at last Mr. R. Place under- took to manage it, and for several years was very successful, We remember that in one season his net profits amounted to $12,000. The American, however, began to decline about the time the Varieties was begin. ning to loom up in the horizon, and descended as rapidly as it bad arisen. It was soon abandoned by the drama- tle muse, and the horses of Spalding & Rogers, the grett circus men, were installed behind the scenes. Like all attempts to convert a theatre into a circus, this failed, and now the old American began to be considered very ‘bad property. Its ruin was completed when tho Varieties was finished; since then it has been for the greater time closed. When the galleries of tue Orleans theatre fell, ‘the fine operatic company of that establishment took the American for a few nights. But even the unequalled attractions of that company could not draw the people to this once popular resort. The lovers of music and the opera could rot relish the rich notes of Borghese and Bertini with such surroundings and associations. Next, when the Varieties was burnt, the company of that es- tablisbment made an effort to revive the of the olé American, but after fort in great ¢i: twelve or eighteen months the ry eased to a German company, which, during the summer aud fail, played two or three times a week to houses, but for some time past Cocessors, doing a rather poor business. is the history of “Old American.’’ Thursday night makes the fifth theatre which has been destroyed by fire in New Orleans within the last fifteen eare.

Im the interval which baw elapsed between that’ day and the present great changes have taken place. When I find myself addressing only one portion of the flock of Brooklyn, and that so multitu- «isous; when I'turn my eyes to the sanctuery, and behold the prelate whom God has appointed to rale the church of this diocese, and another prelate appointed elsewhere, and these surrounded by venerable priests, and these again accompanied in the ceremonial by,.per- haps, the young neophytes of the sanctuary; when I lift my eyes and look around and behold this beautiful and glorious temple of God, I feol that great charges must have taken place since the period when a pricst came to Brooklyn to offer once in a month the holy sacrifice of the altar. Yes, dearly beloved breth ten, great changes have taken place, and other changes in the continued progress of the city of God? whose foundations are in the holy mountains, will take place from day today. It is not my purpose to dwell im much detail on the triumph of your zeal and of your charity in aiding the priest who undertook the erection of this shurch. He has completed his work so far; and having completed it #0 far, the voice-of God through the ordinary channels by which his will is made known to man—especially the order of the Catholic hierarchy— that voice calls him t> new, unseeny unknown field; and whether he is to be surrounded there by faithful members of the holy Catholic church who shall sustain and co operate with him—aid him as you have done—is @ problem; but there is no despondency, no doubt in any mind upon the subject. I would remark briefly that the impression which the very appearance, the coup d’@il of this church has made upon ‘my own mind, is ope of grandeur. It is creditable to the pastor, who officiates in his new character for the first time in this temple, erected much by his zeal and labor and solici. tude; snd whatever may come hereafter, be has left « monument of that zeal and of his devotion in the .holy ministry. If you inquire for that monument, you have only to look around—it is here; but it is not ‘his alone—it is yours also. Nor does the fact that this church’ is very much in dedt, in the least detract from the remarkaI make in regard to it, for the peeple who have raised it thus far will pay itd debts ana complete it. Adebton the Catholic chursh, under certain circumstances, is not the greatest of calamities; but what would be a calamity for you and and the senctusry of this holy temple, would bs to have persons placed between you and your priesthood as mid. oe mep, touching with profane hand the sanctuary of which they stov!d stand i and sinking your charch in debt even igeabh yor d freed it from all responsi: bility. That would ‘be a calamity; but debt, simply debt, is not a great calamity—time and Catholic zeal witlremove all that so far as you would desires to have it removed, But you, in the meantime, should be faith- ful to Almighty God, and not permit men—well meaning men if you please, but iacomjetent to stand between the clergy and the faithful laity of the Catholic church— between you and the devoted pastor whom you so much. respect. ' By united effort everything ean be accomplish- ed, and it is a mercy of the Almighty that in this case there is not the slightest probability*that your elforts will be thwarted by that un-Catholic system which makes laymen masters over God’s sanctuary and God’s priests. This is a matter for which you should be thankful. However, dearly beloved brethren, the church, this perishable monument which will in time crumble; is but of little consequence as compared with thet it ae. And what does it symbolize? The church, the “city of God,” the “gates of Zion,” which the Lord loveth above all thejtabernacies of Jacob. This it symbolizes because, although it is the church located ‘on a certain epot, and although it is itaelf and not any other chureh, nevertheless God has so ordained his divine Depre that the fulness thereof and the completeness of all God’ institutions, and mercies, and revelations, and sacraments ere here, andare to be hera in this church just as they are throughout the whole world. There is nothirg m-the Holy Catholic Church which is notin every 601 tion—that is, a fulness of divine truth, the administration of the eacraments, and the presence of that order ot ecclesiastical government which the Almightly bas appointed for the government of this city of the earth. What are the: They are three which divine truth tas revealed—the sacraments as channels of grace, the death of Jesus Christ upon the cross, and the governmentof that church which preserves its unity. These you are to have in this new temple, and you need not go abroad to find anything better than you have here. You may trave!east or west, you may find yourself in the magnificent dome of St. Peter's, you may behold the ane pastor there officiating. it these are only outward points of difierence. As to all that is intrinsic in reiigion, you have it here—truth of revelation And here let me observe, in regard to this, that God has adapted his revelation to the nature of man asitis. If we bad been of a different nature spiritually, the Al- mighty, no doubt, stooping to our aid in mersy, would have adapted the means of mercy according to our na- but as it is, thus he has revealed his religion to ‘us in its mat form. And you will observe one pecu- liar attribute of the human mind, that except when it is darkened by the clouds and vapors of man’s passion, arising from the corrupt heart, it is always yearaing iter truth; in all its inquiries the subject is trath; in ard to anything of importance it is always uneasy, Gissstisfied, til it reaches a point that indicates cer- tainty. This is the nature of the mind of man, and be- cause thio is the nature of his intellect, God has in his revelation stam} truth with the seal of certainty in his chureb. It {s not, of course, possible for ms now to enlarge ugon thia question of the divinity of the church; it is enough for me to say that it is the work of Christ, thatit is what Chri pointed it should”be ; that it is au- in his name as he spoke in the t, therefore, it would be somethin; different from the church which he instituted if it cou hesitate, or stammer, or speak with a double tozgae, of od has communicated to secure and render onvictions of the human mind. It speaks in positivener ‘and simplicity—""Yea, yea; nay, nay’’—but is no doubtful speculation in the church of God. The ministers of that church are not authorized togive out the results of their own investigations in the form of opificn. They have a message, and our divine Saviour stated that he wassent by the Father; and thus establiah- ing his own mission, be sent others—but he sent them, not togive way to speculations as if the revelations God were a crud item of phil hy, but to teach the truth, all truth, 6 promised to be with them always. If, therefore, you are of curious minds-—if you are of that temperament which would study and be a votary of some ot ancient Pagan philosophy, or modern infideli- ty, go where those things are to be found; but in this city of God, the foundations of which are in the holy moun- tains, you will not find much to gratify. your appetite for bade or investigation. Here is trata, but coming from God through the channel which he has appointed. It {s not my truth, though I pronounce iteit is God’s tru al I am but the ecbo of the divine voice. Thus in to the human mind, and bere it is truly you will obsorve, beloved brethren, how God, in the order of his revelations has adapted it to the actual condition of man. But maa has ‘a heart as well as an inteilect, and God has his religion to the one no less than to the other. w ts it porsible for you without religion. and that communica.

Improvements, THE OLD TONTINE BUALDING TO BE DEMOLISHED One of the oldest organizations of New York, and one which has drawn eer the termination of its existence, is the ‘fontine Association. Those who established this company are now those whose memory ruas back to the trying times of Revolutionary date, when Wall strest was filled with horse stables, and when &t. Paul’s church and the City Hall were out of town. The Tontine frater- nity a rort of a joint stock building asrociation, but something different from the building associations of our day. There was something social in the system upon which the Tontine Society was founded, that recom- mends it even to our times, It was firat established in the year 1790, and the groundwork of its organization was, that all the stockholders, during the life of each, should receive an equal share of the profits of tho sssocia- ticn; but upon the death of each stockbolder, his interest should revert to the remaining members of the Society. The survivors, from. year to year, should continue to bold and receive among themselves the profits of the coacern tili only four remained, and then the entire pro- perty sbould be divided equally among this four, and the association be forever buried. This organization is some- thing similar to the play of “The Last Man,” ia which six stucenta agreed to meet once a year as long.as any one of them lived, and over a glass of wine and a. Dutch pope recount the incidents of the past. Upon the death of any one of the club, the survivors, at each returning anniverrary, were to place the mug of beer and the pipe at the seat of the departed, as though he were alive and momentarily expected to join the rest, and this annual meeting was to be observed till ‘‘the last man’? of the six expired; and according to the play it was 80 kept up, although “the last man,’’ when inthe ‘‘sear and yellow leat”? of life, was compeled to meet for many years and smoke his pipe alone, with thoso of his former companions lying unused around him. Like this play, the Tontine Association was to continue, and meet from Phen’ to year, as long as four of them were left. Thore who organized the ition were young men, who were entering into just as our country was recovering from the of the Revolution, and who established this so- ciety more on account of the fraternal feeling which it fostered, than for any pecuniary benefit. As we have eaid, the society was organized in 1790, and its roll list nunibered seventy members. The subscription of each Stockholder waa $4(0, or thereabouts, mating the origi- nal capital of the society something in the nelghbor- hood of $30,0C0. With this capit ® lot of. ground about one hundred feet on Water street, and the same on t, was purchased, and oo it ereeted, in 1792, the “‘Tontine Buildings,’” which bave come down to the present cay... This building is of the old fashion- ed rtyle, but substantially constructed—not put up with the plaster and venee: walls of our~day, but built stout and stroog—not for s day, but fora century. It is four stories high, with attic and basement. Upon the t of ground where the Tontine buildings row tand, fo the fines of the Revolution was « buiding cceupied by Cunningham & Wardrop, the frat auction- cers of ttoir period. The Tontine Buildings, from. the time of their erection till now, have been rented out for various purposes, and within their walls have been car- ried on almost every branch of mercantile trade. They are now occupied by stores, ani the upper floors are divided into lawyer's offices. The profits of tho building have, a:eording to the original agreement, been divided among tne surviving stockholders, year after year, up to this time, ‘Thess profits during the last twenty-five years bave been very la: and the property is now Yery valuable.

I desire to draw the attention of the editor of the Henan to the injustice done to His Serene Highness, General Santa Anna, the one patriotic, and the one worthily esteemed and truly intelligent President of Mexico, in an editorial of Wednesday, 25th inst., headed ‘*Who is the President of Mexico?’ and to state in reply to the question that the President of Mexico is His Serene Highness, General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, and that Juan Alvarez is only a local revolutionary chief, And it is my duty, for public information, to make response to the Henan im reference to its notice of s pretended “ decree,” said to have been issued from a ‘‘barrack,’’ probably arrack, [Punch] ‘room’? of the insurgent, or as he is sometimes designated, “revolutionary,’’ Pinto {ndian, Juan Alvares, for some twelve months past desolating the isolated haciendas, and terrifying the inhabitants of the State of Guerrero, ani extreme southwestern, and one only, of he many governmental departments of national lexico.
